The inspiration for my blog started with the necessity to put together my art, fashion, travel, events, etc. in one place. It was intended to be able to share with my family and friends, until I later decided to share it publicly.

I don't have a specific personal style; it depends on the mood I'm feeling that day or the event I am attending.

A leather jacket and sunglasses are essentials for me.

To receive feedback from people that gets inspired with my style. Also I get inspiration from other bloggers out there because everyone has something you can learn from.
